More than anything?

He halted in his tracks, his lips hovering over her nether ones.

“Yes?”, asked Vansh and looked in her eyes, searching for the reason to stop him. She wasn’t on her periods, that was for sure. But her voice was shaking and fearful, and the way she was moaning just a moment ago, it must have taken a lot from her to actually ask him to stop.

“We um… we shouldn’t do it”, she mumbled as she looked down.

“Why not?”, he asked calmly, at least as calm as a man with a hard dick and naked girl right in front of him could, and before she could reply reached out to raise her chin so he could see her eyes.

“My mother said ‘no’”, she gulped and then added, her eyes casting down once again, “and I don’t want to disrespect her. She trusted me on this relationship; I can’t break her trust again”

Vansh took a moment to calm his raging hormones, the ones that flooded down. He couldn’t believe how anybody could be this great and loyal. To remember their promises in throes of passion is one of the most difficult things and Shreya did it so easily.

He respected her, so of course he would respect her decisions but unfortunately for him, the adoration he felt for her at this moment was only hardening his already hard dick. He couldn’t wait to fuck her, but he couldn’t fuck her. ‘Damn it!’ He thought as he groaned.

He could hear Shreya mumbling and directed his attention back to her grey eyes and her silky lips that moved invitingly as she said “So sorry I got you this worked up. I didn’t remember it then because I was clouded by your presence and my happiness but the promise soon came back to me and I’m just sorry… really sorry. And you are probably pissed I can’t sleep with you. I’ll just get out. I’m sorry again.”

“Shreya”, he said and successfully shut up her rant and her continuously nodding head.

“I’m not pissed, I’m aroused. And before you went on and insulted me I was having a serious moment of appreciation for you. I love how you keep your promises. And I respect your decision”, he said as he moved away from her bed and found his shorts while taking deep breaths to calm his hard-on.

“I didn’t insult you”

“Didn’t you? What then, would you call ‘you are so lowlife, I am afraid you’ll be pissed if I don’t have sex with you’? Bloody hell! Why would you ask sorry for saying ‘no’? That is your right and I am NOT going to disrespect that. I just wished you knew that”

“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean it like that”

“It’s okay. Let it go”, he shrugged and found a white tee to cover his body. He threw another tee in her hands and taking a deep breath, he smiled.

He turned to watch her naked form getting stretched as she covered her skin with his t-shirt. His T-shirt. There was nothing more erotic than this, especially for the cave-man part of his genes.

“You look good”, he commented as he sat down next to her; nuzzling his head into her neck, he added, “You look mine”

Before she could start with her ‘I don’t belong to anybody’ speech, he said, “Can we still cuddle or is it out of boundaries?”

“If your little man can handle it, why not?”, she smirked and slid her hand down his torso. His hand grabbed hers before it could cross any dangerous territory and said, “We’ll manage. Besides, you of all people should know that my man is not little”

“I’m not gonna fight you on this”, she smiled looking up him through her lashes as her head lay on his chest.

They spent the next few minutes in compatible silence. They didn’t speak anything just held each other and as their bodies moulded to fit perfectly, they lost themselves in their thoughts. The silence was broken when Vansh called, “Shreya?”

“Mm?”

“Thank you for this wonderful surprise. I would have been the happiest person just to have you as my girlfriend again, but the extra mile you’ve crossed – I’m extremely grateful for that. I never knew I could feel so many different emotions at once and I can’t imagine the amount of effort it must have taken for you to plan all this out. I absolutely loved it. Thank you so much for this”, he said and kissed the top of her head.

“I’m glad you liked it”, she smiled up at him.

“Why exactly did you break up with me? Your mom?”, he asked after a short pause.

“Yes and no”

“Elaborate”

“My mother never asked me to get out of the relationship; she just questioned why I couldn’t trust her enough to tell her about us. She was hurt, disappointed and most of all she felt betrayed. Our relationship was friendship, in essence, we talked about everything and anything, and now suddenly, I find a guy and date him.

During the case, she found I was dating you but she let it go. She didn’t try to belittle me or shout at me for dating but even after I promised her then, that I would leave you alone, I still re-joined with you. It felt like a slap to her.”, she continued the telling the whole story of how she first broke and how then, her mother approved of her dating.

“Oh wow! Honestly, I’m amazed, and I get how you are so good at conflicts and generally empathising. Your mom is a great role model. I don’t like she disapproved in the first place, but I understand her reasons. I feel the same sometimes when you don’t trust me enough, so I get she would be hurt. But, wow! I have no words. I was prepared to do cartwheels in front of your mother if that meant I can be with you, but honestly Shreya, your mother is amazing.”, he exclaimed, his adoration and excitement clear in his voice. But was there a hint of sadness too?

Shreya thought so, because she hesitantly asked, “Are you feeling okay?”

“Yeah! Just miss my mother, you know? I wonder how different it’d be if she were here today, we could share laughs and food and she’d take care of me. A way only a mother can.”

She hugged him tightly and gently said, “I think she’d be proud”

“She’d be proud of how strong you’ve grown, to handle all the pain of her loss and still turn into a remarkable man. She’d be proud at how caring, kind and empathetic you are. As a mother, she’d be happy with herself because she did a great job. After all, you turned out so well.”

“Thanks”, he whispered as he nuzzled his head in her wavy hair, inhaling her sweet perfume and held her body tighter.

After a moment or two, he released a deep breath and loosened the hold on her a little. With a gentle smile playing on his face, he asked, “How did you know I loved Marvel? I never told you”

“Well Ansh..”, she started but squealed when he turned her over and hovered above her, using his hands to keep his weight off her little body.

“Ansh! What was that about Ansh earlier? Why was he snooping around and why for the love of god would you beg him for anything?”, he asked, shuddering at the end of his sentence.

“He helped me with the planning and preparations for your surprise. For some reason though, he was against acting as a videographer so I had to proper beg him for that. The promise of ‘deets’ helped though”, she laughed.

“With Ansh, gossip always works”, he joined the sound of her sweet laughter with his sensual one.

“SO you recorded the whole thing?”

“Yeah! I wanted a video memory of it and I wanted to see your reactions”

“It was a beautiful surprise, very beautiful”, he complimented.

“A lot of the credit goes to Ansh. Honestly, Ansh is creative, amazingly so”, she said with pure adoration for his younger brother.

“But I’m sure you like me better?”, he asked as he moved his lips under her chin.

“I’m not so sure, he is useful and you know, he is fun too. Very fun”, she giggled as she teased.

He bit her ear and as she moaned, he said, “I am fun baby”

“Sure”, she dragged but before he could go all caveman on her she added, “I love you though, more than anything.”

“More than anything?”, he repeated.

“More than anything and everything”, she confirmed.
